    @Murilo P, All the vitamins and minerals have been important to recovery. Vitamin D is an important immune system regulator and can help lower inflammation. Vitamin D improves depression. Mine was severely deficient. Vitamins A, E, and K are the other fat soluble vitamins. (Vitamin E is mostly made from wheat, so be careful there.) People...

    Undermethylation is due to deficiencies in Thiamine and Cobalamine B12, and Folate B 9. Dr. Lonsdale and Dr. Marrs' website explains it here. https://hormonesmatter.com/paradoxical-reactions-ttfd-methylation-connection/ Thiamine can't work properly if there's insufficient Cobalamine B12 and Folate B 9 for the methylation. The eight essential...

    @Nicole Maree, Here are a few articles to get you started... The Autoimmune Protocol Diet really made a big difference, I felt much better quickly following this diet... https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/aip-diet-autoimmune-protocol-diet#what-it-is And.... Nutritional Imbalances in Adult Celiac Patients Following a Gluten-Free...

    Thiamine Mononitrate is not utilized very well by the body. Only about twenty percent of that big dose will actually get used. Thiamine Mononitrate is shelf-stable, meaning it won't breakdown while sitting in a bottle on a shelf. It also means that thiamine mononitrate is difficult for the body to break down and use, too. A better, more useable...

    There are eight essential B vitamins. They depend on each other to work properly. Thiamine interacts with each and every B vitamin. Thiamine and Pyridoxine B6 make life sustaining enzymes. Same for Thiamine and Riboflavin. Since the gluten free diet can be low or deficient in B vitamins, it's better to take some of all of them. I would like...

    @Nicole Maree, Dairy products can cause a reaction as though you've eaten gluten because casein (a protein in dairy) resembles gluten and the same autoimmune response happens. Do not eat dairy with meat. The digestive enzymes that digest meat also digest Lactase (the digestive enzyme that digests dairy). Thiamine insufficiency symptoms...

    I think your wife would do much better if her nutritional deficiencies were addressed. Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of nutrients due to the damage and inflammation done to the digestive tract. The additional demands of pregnancy on the mother can cause nutritional deficiencies that can mimic behavioral disorders like schizophrenia. Bulimia...

    There's several B vitamins which if deficient can cause neuropathy. B12 deficiency can cause neuropathy as can deficiencies in Thiamine B1, Niacin B 3, Pyridoxine B6, and Folate B 9. Yes, excessive Pyridoxine B6 can cause neuropathy if there's an excessive amount from supplementing, but not from dietary sources. Zinc is also important to the...

    Doctors are required to take twenty hours of nutritional education while in medical schools for seven years. Mostly vitamin deficiency diseases are thought to be in the past or in starving countries. So doctors do not recognize vitamin deficiency disease symptoms in the early stages. Celiac Disease causes vitamin deficiencies because the lining of the...

    @ling27, Yes, I'm talking about taking a vitamin supplement with all eight essential B vitamins. You can take a B Complex in addition to your B12. B12 needs other B vitamins to function properly. Cobalamine B12 needs Folate B 9, Riboflavin B2 and Pyridoxine B 6. Thiamine B1 is needed as well as the rest. If you take just B12 and are...

    One symptom of Thiamine deficiency is edema in the feet, ankles and legs. Thiamine is Vitamin B1. There are eight essential B vitamins that Celiac people have difficulty absorbing sufficient amounts of due to Celiac damage in the small intestine. The B vitamins cannot be stored for long. Thiamine runs out first, in as little as three days. Has...

    Welcome to the forum, @ling27, I understand what you're going through. Lots of doctors are not as knowledgeable about Celiac Disease and the need for vitamin supplementation. I've posted some of my experiences in my blog. Let's compare notes. I'm limited on my computer use due to eye problems, too. You're not alone.

    @CDW, You're in good company. I have to avoid gluten free processed foods because Sulfites are used as whitening agents. I've a hypersensitivity to Sulfites, which can develop in Celiac Disease. Sulfites make my dermatitis herpetiformis flare up badly. I've found some studies that you may find interesting and helpful. Serological marker...

    @Confusedcelic, Have you done the anti-gluten antibody testing? Were the results borderline? High? Low? Endoscopy? Nutritional deficiencies? Other autoimmune diseases? Current symptoms?

    @EllieP, Have you tried Basmati Rice? It's the type of rice that's well tolerated, least likely to provoke a reaction, easily digested. I can't tolerate rice or grains, especially corn, but I found I can have basmati rice. It should be near the other types of rice....short grain rice, brown rice and black rice.

    @Confusedcelic, I'm confused now. Those are genes that code for Celiac. Paste each line into Google. HLA-DQA1 - rs2187668 HLA-DQB1 - rs7454108

    @Rose77, If you're a bacteria, the dose wouldn't have to be as much. Scientific, peer reviewed studies have shown that gut dysbiosis is a trigger for disease development.

    @Lori from Fl, You may have a small amount of damage from Celiac Disease in your intestines, but Celiac Disease affects the whole body. The antibodies do damage not only in the intestines, but the antibodies get into the bloodstream and attack other organs and tissues. Some Celiacs have problems with their thyroid because of the antibodies attacking...

    Anemia, diabetes and Thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives. Has your daughter been checked for these? And some of us rare ones are seronegative Celiac.

    @Lori from Fl, You could be eating foods high in histamine. Processed foods are high in histamine. Our bodies can make histamine. Plants and animals can make histamine, too. It's a useful neurotransmitter. Histamine release is what wakes us up in the morning. That cup of coffee? Causes histamine release. Insomnia? High histamine levels...

    "A slight stage of Celiac Disease" sounds a lot like "being a little bit pregnant." Were biopsies taken to check for Celiac Disease microscopically when you had your endoscopy? Malabsorption occurs in both celiac disease and pancreatic insufficiency. Fat malabsorption occurs, so we can become low in fat soluble vitamins like Vitamins D and A...

    @Brenda F., I've found that taking Flaxseed oil supplements help with my dry eye symptoms and Sjogren's Syndrome. Omega Threes and Omega Sizes are not absorbed well from our diet in Celiac Disease. Omega Threes and Sixes are very important in eye health as they keep the eyes from drying out. Flaxseed oil, Sunflower seed oil, and Oil of...

    Welcome to the forum, @Brenda F., I've had insomnia. I take Passion Flower extract. Passion Flower lowers histamine levels. Histamine is released as part of the inflammation due to Celiac Disease. Lowering the histamine level with Passion Flower allows for sleep without feeling groggy in the morning. Tryptophan, a form of Niacin Vitamin B...

    Welcome to the forum, @Greentea34, Was the DGP IgG test run? It's just as reliable as the tTg IgA when there's IgA insufficiency and in children and young adults.

    Welcome to the forum, @Lori from Fl, Watermelon has a laxative effect and lemon is a diuretic. I prefer warm clove tea with meals. Clove has beneficial properties, like lowering inflammation. Try to avoid processed gluten free facsimile foods until you are feeling better. Concentrate on meat and vegetables, a Paleo Diet, for several weeks...
